has migrated to another country in the hope of being
|| || || || || || || || || ||
recognised as a refugee. || || ||
Current spatial patterns in international migrant flows -

CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔-International migration

-Numbers, composition and direction || || ||
International migration (Current spatial patterns in || || || || || ||
international migrant flows) - CORRECT || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔International migration is one element of || || || || || ||
total population change in a country. The fact that the
|| || || || || || || || || ||
migration figures are estimates points to the issue of
|| || || || || || || || ||
defining an international migrant. Lack of uniformity
|| || || || || || ||
among countries creates difficulty in obtaining accurate,
|| || || || || || ||
reliable and comparable statistics. This is compounded by
|| || || || || || ||
the many undocumented, illegal migrations.
|| || || || ||
, Population change formula - CORRECT || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔(births - deaths) ± international migration || || || || ||
UN definition of long-term migrant - CORRECT
|| || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔A person who moves to a country other || || || || || || || ||
than his or her usual residence for a period of at least a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||

than his or her usual residence for at least three months
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
but less than a year.
|| || || ||
Net migration - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Refers to the
|| || || || || || ||
difference between numbers of immigrants and
|| || || || || ||
emigrants for a particular country. In 2014, the UK had an
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
estimated net migration gain of 318,000; in 2015, it was
|| || || || || || || || || ||
333,000.
Numbers, composition and direction (Current spatial
|| || || || || ||
patterns in international migrant flows) - CORRECT
|| || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔The scale and direction of international || || || || || ||
migration and the composition of migrant flows are
|| || || || || || || ||
complex and can be demonstrated by the immigration
|| || || || || || || ||
and emigration patterns for the UK (Figure 7.2, Table 7.2 -
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
